KVM: x86: Extend KVM_{G,S}ET_VCPU_EVENTS to support pending triple fault
For the triple fault sythesized by KVM, e.g. the RSM path or
nested_vmx_abort(), if KVM exits to userspace before the request is
serviced, userspace could migrate the VM and lose the triple fault.
Extend KVM_{G,S}ET_VCPU_EVENTS to support pending triple fault with a
new event KVM_VCPUEVENT_VALID_FAULT_FAULT so that userspace can save and
restore the triple fault event. This extension is guarded by a new KVM
capability KVM_CAP_TRIPLE_FAULT_EVENT.
Note that in the set_vcpu_events path, userspace is able to set/clear
the triple fault request through triple_fault.pending field.
